Title: Hosts and methods for producing recombinant products in high yields
Inventor: GOLDBERG ALFRED L
IPC: C12N1/20
Filed: 1985-03-06
Granted: 1990-03-01
Abstract: This invention relates to improved host organisms and methods for producing recombinant products in high yields. More particularly, the present invention relates to cell strains carrying specific mutations within their DNA sequences which cause the organism to exhibit a reduced capacity for degrading foreign products and the use of these strains to produce increased yields of genetically engineered foreign proteins, polypeptides and other products. The methods disclosed in this invention advantageously permit the production, in high yields, of foreign recombinant proteins, polypeptides or other products in hosts which do not usually produce such products.

Title: Injection solution
Inventor: LOEBEL KLAUS-DIETER DR

Granted: 1989-09-14
Abstract: An aqueous injection solution contains 1-25% by weight of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-ethanaminium salt of 3,7-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione (1:1) and, based on this salt, 5-8% by weight of propionic acid.

Title: Laser assisted demolding of ophthalmic lenses
Inventor: ROSS DENWOOD F
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 1993-09-03
Granted: 1995-09-14
Abstract: Described is an apparatus and method for removing a molded ophthalmic lens (44) from between the mold portions (40,42) in which it is produced. A source of intense electromagnetic radiation, preferably a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser of about 80 Watts at a wavelength of 10.6 mu m, is applied to at least one of the mold portions. The exposure of the mold portion to the laser is between one half and one second. Differential expansion of the heated mold polymer relative to the cooler polymer shifts one surface with respect to the other, and the shear force breaks the polymerized lens\polymer mold adhesion and assists in the separation of mold portions. The greater the temperature gradient between the surfaces of the mold portions, the greater the shearing force and the easier the mold portions separate. The heated back mold portion is promptly removed so that very little energy is transferred to the polymer lens, avoiding the possibility of thermal decomposition of the lens.

Title: Non-ferrous/ferromagnetic laminated graphic arts impression dies and method of producing same
Inventor: HUTCHISON GLENN E
IPC: B41N1/06
Filed: 2000-05-10
Granted: 2003-06-05
Abstract: This invention relates to a relatively thin cladded graphic arts impression graphic arts impression die plate (20) having a steel layer (22) which is integral throughout the extent thereof with a layer of copper (24) or bronze. A relieved design-defining surface may be formed in the copper or bronze layer by a chemical etching process or by chemical milling. In the case of chemical etching of the graphic arts impression die plate (20), a design-defining layer of photo-resist is applied to the outer surface of the copper layer (24) or the bronze layer and the relieved design is formed in the copper or bronze layer using a conventional ferric chloride etching solution. The etched graphic arts impression die plate may be mounted on an etchant-resistant backing or magnetic support member (28) to present an assembly which increases the thickness of the die assembly sufficiently to permit use thereof on standard stamping and embossing equipment without modification of the die-supporting chase. The magnetic support member (28) has a plurality of pairs of permanent magnets (33, 35) each pair of which is embedded within a respective cavity (32) and that are magnetically bridged by a steel plate 36. The pairs of magnets (33 and 35) attract the steel layer (22) of the graphic arts impression die plate (20) and thereby hold the graphic arts impression die plate on the magnetic support member (28). Etching of a blank cladded metal graphic arts impression die plate (20) is facilitated by provision of a rotatable magnetic support member (64, 164, 264, 364) within die etching apparatus (40) which serves to support the die blank while it is being subjected to the etchant solution. The die blank magnetic support member (64, 164, 264, 364) has permanent magnets (78, 178, 278, 378) embedded therein, or alternatively pairs of magnets each pair of which is bridged by a steel plate, which magnetically attract the steel layer (22) of the graphic arts impression die plate (20) to affix the graphic arts impression die plate to the magnetic support member.

Title: Apparatus and method for dispensing metered amount of aerosolized medication
Inventor: SCHULER CARLOS
IPC: A61M11/02
Filed: 2000-05-24
Granted: 2003-08-21
Abstract: The invention provides exemplary methods and apparatus for aerosolizing a pharmaceutical formulation contained within a receptacle. In one method, a metered amount of a pressurized gas is provided, with the pressurized gas previously being in equilibrium with a liquid. The metered gas is released to create a high pressure gas stream. The high pressure gas stream is flowed through an aerosolization mechanism to extract the pharmaceutical formulation from the receptacle and to disperse the pharmaceutical formulation within the gas stream to form an aerosol.
Patent AU-770785-B2 (AU)
Title: Biscuit joiner
Inventor: GEORGE WILLIAM A
IPC: B25F5/02
Filed: 2000-08-10
Granted: 2004-03-04
Abstract: A biscuit joiner (10) having a housing (16) which includes a forward portion (26), a handle portion (28) and a rear portion (30). A battery pack (56) is removably secured to the rear portion. The forward portion houses an electric motor (32) and is attached to a shoe assembly (12) and a fence assembly (14). The handle portion includes a stick handle portion (40) and a loop portion (42). Each of the stick handle and loop portions are laterally offset from the forward portion, and therefore from the rotational axis of the motor and the coaxial center of the housing. The stick handle portion is graspable by a user and the lateral offset enables the fingers of the user to be placed in position to exert a force substantially along the longitudinal axis (36) of the motor while engaging an ON/OFF trigger (46) of the joiner. In this manner a more direct application of force can be made by the user to the housing when urging the housing linearly while making plunge cuts with the joiner. The handle construction also provides the joiner with a well balanced, positive "feel" and enables a wider variety of hand orientations to be used when operating the joiner. The joiner of the present invention is even more comfortable to operate than previously developed stick handle type joiners, even with the additional weight of the removable battery pack, and can therefore reduce the fatigue of the user's hands and arms when the joiner is operated over prolonged periods of time.

Title: Apparatus and method for communicating digital data using trellis coding with punctured convolutional codes
Inventor: HOW STEPHEN K
IPC: H03M13/00
Filed: 1994-05-03
Granted: 1996-10-03
Abstract: Punctured binary convolutional codes are used in a trellis coded modulation scheme to achieve spectral efficiencies as high as those of multi-dimensional codes, using simple hardware. A base rate 1/2 binary convolutional code is punctured to rate n/k. The output of the punctured encoder 18 is mapped to a four-way partition (60, 62, 64, 66; 120, 122, 124, 126) of a 2<N> point two-dimensional QAM constellation. The four-way partition consists of a two-way partition in both the I and Q dimensions. The two-way partitions of each dimension are used to transmit the two level output of the rate n/k binary convolutional coder. (N-2) "uncoded" bits (24) are transmitted by selecting the unique constellation point in a partition group. The code has an average throughput of (N-2)+2n/k bits per symbol. The invention is also applicable to trellis coded amplitude modulation schemes based on 2<N> possible amplitude levels provided along a one-dimensional constellation. <IMAGE>
